A FRIEND.

! Died, at the residence of her parents, in
! 81. InigO's district, on the 2lst ofJuly, 1887,
| MAMIE, daughter of Alexander and An
ME c. Bayne, in the 18th year OF her age.
The announcement Of the death Of this
estimable young pady cast shadow of
/ gloom over the homes of her friends and
carried sorrow 10 many hearts. That one
| so young, so full of promise and so ''un-
/ spotted from the world" should have been
taken so early from those who loved her So
well and who will cherish 50 fondly her
/ memory now that having entered into her
rest She eateth of the fruit of the tree of
| life and drinketh of the sweet waters of
that river which flows c,s,. as crystal from
I the throne Of God. -
Her missiessc. earth her short
life has clOssd, But II has h0r been withodr
profit to those around her. Her disposition
was affectionate, her manners gentle, her
conversation pure and her life innocent.
II will be long, indeed, before We forget her
gentle, winning ways, her good example
and all her lovely traits of character which
diffused sunshine and joy in the family cir.
I Gle. To all Of every degree she was kind
and cordial, so that she lived beloved and
died lamented, and by none more than the
writer, who knew her perhaps as well, if
I not better, than any other Of her many
friends. Heaven we confidently believe
and hope has received her pure soul. Her
bereaved parents and friends are stricken
| with grief, but to her death can have no
terrors Weep not, therefore, dear parents.
over your untimely bereavement Forti-
fled with the last sacraments and calmly
/ trusting in God, she has passed away 10 her
eternal home. May her soul rest in peace.

Nobody kneels ut the throne above
To thank the Heavenly Father,
For that sweetest gift-a mothers love-
Nobody can-but mother.
